CH: 72 In ten days, destroy the Qingshan Gang!

{Chapter: 72 In ten days, destroy the Qingshan Gang!}

Lin Yuan was only slightly surprised by the Chen Family's intervention.

But he wasn't afraid.

Because of this, he had to rearrange his plans.

The first step was to consider the fact that the Chen Family would continue to intervene.

The second was to devise a way to sever the Chen Family's influence entirely.

Now that Ye Feng had been released, if Lin Yuan took action against Gu Qingshan and his gang, Ye Feng would undoubtedly assist them.

The Chen Family would also lend their support.

Thus, taking down the Chen Family became an essential consideration.

Furthermore, the Chen Family had clearly marked him as an enemy.

Therefore, Lin Yuan decided he needed to take action that would cripple the Chen Family significantly.

In the original novel, the Chen Family had certain ties with the Qingshan Gang.

Now that Ye Feng had joined forces with them, the connection would be even stronger than before.

"Change of plans..."

"I'll grant Gu Qingshan and his gang one final week."

"Ten days at most—no more, no less."

"Within those ten days…"

"I will annihilate the Qingshan Gang!"

"For the Lady of Loss herself awaits them in the shadows!"

With these thoughts, Lin Yuan quickly returned home.

Even after returning, his mind was still occupied with thoughts of strategy and action.

Suddenly, a WeChat message popped up.

It was from his cousin, Yu Shanshan.

"Brother, do you have time tonight?"

Seeing Yu Shanshan's message, Lin Yuan replied, "What's wrong?"

Yu Shanshan: "Qian Qian said she wants to invite you to dinner tonight."

Lin Yuan: "If Chi Qian really wants to invite me to dinner, shouldn't she ask me herself? Doesn't she have my contact information?"

Yu Shanshan: "I just wanted to help you! I don't know when she planned to tell you, so I thought I'd let you know in advance. Qian Qian is so cute. I really want to cuddle her to sleep and play with her every day."

"But now, I don't get much of a chance to hug her, and after graduation, it will be even harder to stay in touch. But if she becomes my sister-in-law, it will be different."

"Little Yuan, you have to make an effort. When the time comes, if the girls are tipsy, remember to open the door for me at night. I want to be with her. Of course, my harem is also shared with you."

Lin Yuan was momentarily speechless at his cousin's words.

This cousin of his clearly had her own schemes.

Lin Yuan: "Are you seriously asking me to pick up girls for you? And what's with calling me 'Little Yuan'?"

"There are eight photos of the harem you've shown me. I'll pick two at random and send them to your mother to see if she's satisfied with her future daughters-in-law."

Yu Shanshan quickly begged for mercy: "No, cousin! I was wrong, I was wrong! You are my brother!"

"Recently, my mother's eyes have been sharp and suspicious. If you do that, my legs will be broken."

Lin Yuan: "Then from now on, only say things that are actually useful. Got it?"

Yu Shanshan: "Got it!"

"By the way, are you free tonight?"

Lin Yuan replied.

Sure enough, after half an hour, Chi Qian sent him a message.

Lin Yuan had expected this. Since she had his contact information, Chi Qian would definitely invite him personally.

After all, this was a thank-you dinner, and Chi Qian was a principled and polite person.

What surprised Lin Yuan, however, was the content of Chi Qian's message.

"Shanshan told you I want to invite you to dinner, right?" Chi Qian asked directly.

As expected of the perfect goddess in the story's setting, her thoughts were thorough.

Lin Yuan replied, "Well, she just told me not long ago."

Chi Qian: "Then, do you have time tonight?"

Lin Yuan: "Of course, I have time. After all, how could I refuse an invitation from a beauty?"

Chi Qian sent a string of smiley faces in reply.

That expression seemed to mock him slightly.

Lin Yuan noticed this and thought Chi Qian was someone who excelled at everything but enjoyed subtle provocations.

Sure enough, Chi Qian replied, "It's good that you have time. I'll send you the specific address after I've booked it."

"Huh? Can't you just send a normal smiley? Well then."

Looking at the row of smiley faces, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel that Chi Qian was teasing him again.

---

After confirming the dinner with Chi Qian, Lin Yuan received another message.

Today was turning out to be unusually busy.

This time, the message was from an acquaintance—Yan Ruyue.

"Do you... do you have time tonight?"

Yan Ruyue had hesitated for a long time before finally sending that message.

But Lin Yuan replied directly, "I'm sorry, I have an appointment."

Seeing Lin Yuan's reply, Yan Ruyue felt a pang of disappointment.

Could it be that Lin Yuan still held a grudge against her for her earlier attitude?

She noticed that Lin Yuan had been colder toward her recently.

In her mind, this must have been his way of expressing dissatisfaction with her previous indifference.

She believed Lin Yuan's statement about having an appointment was just an excuse.

Yet, Yan Ruyue didn't give up. She pressed on, asking, "What about tomorrow afternoon? Or tomorrow night?"

Lin Yuan replied, "What's the matter? Why do you ask?"

After some hesitation, Yan Ruyue finally said, "I want to thank you for treating my mother all this time. Could we have a meal together? There's something... I want to tell you."

Lin Yuan: "Alright, I'll let you know if I'm free tomorrow afternoon or evening."

Yan Ruyue: "Okay!"

After ending the conversation, Yan Ruyue stared at the ceiling.

The reason she wanted to invite Lin Yuan for dinner was indeed to thank him, but she couldn't deny the growing emotions inside her.

There were things she wanted to say to Lin Yuan, and she couldn't quite explain the feelings bubbling within her.

Lin Yuan had become so mysterious to her, and she felt an intense desire to understand him better.
